| Quote: Nothus "Sack him and replace him with who, exactly?
Who in their right mind would want to come and coach a side that is odds on for relegation at the end of the year?
Everyone mentions John Kear but I honestly think he would turn us down.
Perhaps we should just spend money in getting rid of FC and then let LSH coach the team for the rest of the season and beyond. Is that what you want?'"
The replacement would already know the job in front of him,so its irrelevant to HIM whether he starts now or after the season is over.THE JOB IS TO GET US BACK UP FIRST TIME.
Time is money.Foook waiting,get the NEW COACH IN PLACE NOW--whether that's Nobby/Kear/Lowes or whoever.
We need a CLEAR MISSION STATEMENT AND WE NEED IT NOW,otherwise we'll end up with no support whatsoever and even less Sponsorship.

Have to agree with the above. The club needs cash flow to survive and these 2 revenue streams are pivotal to that happening.
We will always have the die hard fans that will buy a ST, regardless of the league, but you can guarantee that the figures for next year will be lower than the last few years.
We need to start selling a story to the fans as to why there is room for optimism and this is a chapter of the clubs history that they need to experience..... (going to take some selling!)

| You might find that conversations with sponsors and the like are already ongoing. They most certainly will not be made public knowledge for obvious reasons.
I think Marc and Steve will be sizing up pricing structures for season tickets etc. for both outcomes while they are both still mathematically possible.
But I wouldn't expect any kind of official announcement any time soon.
Sometimes you just have to let them get on with it. Steve has been involved in RL for a long time, try and take some comfort from that.

The problem with that is how is it different to the promotional gubbins they have tried with the last 4/5 season ticket launches? The fans have heard it all before, and it's turned out to be completely wrong every time. This isn't the marketing team's fault and they certainly have a tough sell but it gets to a point where actions speak louder than words. At the moment the club isn't providing much of either that is very convincing.

| Something seems to be happening today, all the Cryptic twitter messages are now appearing.
Could be news regarding FC, but I have a feeling it might be about our star quarterback Luke Gale.
Either way everyone seems to think today is the day for the news.

I think we should concentrate more on the important things - is there still some decent beer on at the 3 pigeons?

If you get relegated do you think that all your better players' are going to stay loyal to the club and not be tempted by offers from SL clubs', not to mention all the financial implications if you are not in SL, in the past the Bulls have been a massive club but sadly this is no longer the case, hopefully for your fans' things will improve in the future but for now I doubt neither Kear nor Harrison would be remotely interested.

As far as we are aware all contracts are null and void - new deals and contracts would have to be negotiated.

| You don't know if you don't ask. J K would be the man for the job give him a 2 year contract and get him in now. Give him time to settle in and make recommendations, you need to show your intentions.
